Open House Scheduled for August 23 1-3pm! A stone bridge and layered landscaping set the tone for this private 5.8-acre estate near downtown Middlebury. Inside, the home has been modernized--redesigned and furnished for a part-time retreat, though fully equipped for year-round living. Vaulted ceilings, high windows, and lit beams draw light into the open-concept living area and kitchen, where original tile and hardware meet new hardwood flooring, Ayr cabinetry, and a statement three-sided gas fireplace. The dining room and hearth offer an interlude between the main spaces with a natural extension to the sunroom and patios. Every light, rug, seat, book, throw, and furnishing has been carefully chosen and is included in the sale--making this home ready to be lived in. The primary suite features its own fireplace, skylights, soaking tub, and walk-in shower. On the other side of the home are additional bedrooms and a sitting room. Downstairs, you'll find a tiered theater room and kitchenette, two half baths, and an open versatile space, all fit for hosting large groups. Outside, enjoy the pool and outdoor kitchen, and a hillside firepit overlooking the Little Elkhart River. In total, the home has 5 bedrooms, 4 full and 4 half baths, two laundry areas, and a 5-car garage. A detached garage offers four stalls, one RV stall, and RV hookups. The home has two heating sources: gas forced air and geothermal via pond. From high ceilings to rolling grounds, this property reflects extravagant living and well-kept spaces--the perfect backdrop for your next chapter.
